Lieberman denies: split not on agenda

MK Avigdor Lieberman, Israel Beiteinu chairman, explains this morning, at a special press conference on account of the government sworn in this afternoon: "Every publication on breaking down of the party is not on the agenda. It is possible, but still have not learned the lessons. There are factors who are not satisfied on both sides. "

Lieberman's remarks were made against the publication yesterday on Channel 10, that the Likud and Israel Beiteinu faction split up into two separate parties and will work this way in the new Knesset. "We made history, for the first time a prime minister from the right was chosen a second time."

Regarding Elkin's appointment as Deputy Foreign Minister who will manage the office until solving the legal problems, he said: "The appointment of Elkin as deputy foreign minister was coordinated. Elkin was one of the best chairman of coalition and I have no doubt he will surprise even the Foreign Ministry. He has very high capabilities ".

He said that the agenda according to which the new government was set up is the agenda led by his party: "All parties are riding on the flags of Israel Beiteinu on the subject of recruitment, the right to housing, earning power or changing the system of government. I hope that the new government with new partners will work on these issues. I think Yisrael Beiteinu can be satisfied that it is leading. "

He also said that the political differences between the coalition partners will not dismantle it since "In the next four years, nothing will happen in the Palestinian issue. This my evaluation. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. "
Lieberman said that he had no contact with Reuven Rivlin's ouster as chairman of the Knesset.
